South Asian the most hated ethnic group in the UK?

After reading through several pages of threads on this forum and others I have noticed that South Asian have a lot of 'hate' mockery etc against them?

Why is this they case?

Please let us debate and get the bottom of this, be free to speak your mind but don't be racist.

Probably due to the fact that most South Asian men are mistaken for/ or are actually, Muslim.

Muslim's are generally the scapegoat in the media and are a common target of hatred.

It therefore makes sense that South Asian's have a lot of hatred and mockery against them.

(Btw: I'm white and don't have any problem with South Asians. I have quite a lot of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi friends and find most of them to be really nice people.)

I think some European nations accepted a lot of immigrants with different cultural backgrounds. Some of these europeans want immigrants to "melt" into the society just like they do in the US. However, a lot of these immigrants haven't done so and when cultures clash, they want them to leave.

Simple as that. If cultures don't clash, immigrants are usually tolerated. This is proven over and over again in the world. You almost never see this sort of backlash against immigrants in the US or Canada mostly because the immigrants there tend to assimilate much quicker. This is likely due to the way these countries select immigrants, they take fewer refugees and more people with university education, solid english speaking skills and a valuable skill set or capital for investment.

There will always be discrimination in society, just like there is discrimination based on height there is discrimination based on ethnicity and culture. As a society we can try and minimize it, but it is a two way street and both sides need to close the gap together.

Its a very very small minority of people who truly want everyone to be the same skin colour them and these people would likely be truly considered "neo-nazi's". A main issue many people against immigration have is being lumped together with these people. Many aren't actually against people based on ethnicity it is based on their "perceived actions". Truly, what a few minorities do can taint the image of the entire group. The big difference is how the minority community then responds. If they respond by isolating themselves further it further inflames tensions, however if they try to isolate out the people at fault then it reduces tensions.

Here in Yorkshire it's certainly true and tends to more specifically be Muslim males from Pakistan. I blame this on what they have done to Bradford and how unfriendly their 'ghettos' are.

Hell, they even elected George Galloway.

I'm partly sri lankan, would like to move from Belgium to London,

is this a good idea?

Nobody dislikes Asians, they dislike Muslims, mainly Pakistani's. I'd say Pakistani Muslims are the most disliked.

I agree. I'm based in West Yorkshire too and their certainly seems to be an 'us or them' situation. Even in school, the asian kids stick together and the white kids stick together. I've never really questioned it, it's just how it is

what have they done to bradford? and which 'ghettos' are you referring to?

i'll agree with the geroge galloway point.

really? I'm asian and was friends with the non-asians

Turned it into a no go city at night rampant with crime, unemployment, drug abuse, sexual abuse and even shootings.

While Leeds thrives, 'Bradistan' as its known locally is on its knees and I very much blame how unfriendly and uninviting it feels.
